Chapter 209 Misunderstanding
Grandpa Sun was laughing happily, but when he looked up and saw his grandson standing at the door of the living room, his face darkened:
"You little brat, what time is it now? You must have crawled back here!"
"Master, look at the time now."
The old man turned his head to look at the big pendulum clock on the corner. It was half past six and twenty-nine. "Look, we're all late!"
Sun Quanzhang was incredulous: "Grandpa, you can't take advantage of the fact that I am your grandson and wear a pair of reading glasses and call a deer a horse."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" The old man glared at him and said, "Come over here and meet him."
Sun Quanzhang curled his lips, strode to Grandma Wu's side, grabbed a handful of strawberries and threw himself into the sofa:
"You are truly an old comrade who has experienced many hardships and has a good character. You treat guests as warmly as the spring breeze, but treat your young and promising grandson as harshly as the cold winter."
After putting a strawberry into his mouth, Sun Quanzhang was stunned when he looked up. The pouting corners of his mouth and the nonchalant expression unconsciously disappeared, and he didn't even notice that he was absent-minded.
The girl opposite was wearing a simple white Hanfu dress, with red plum blossoms embroidered on the plain white clothes. Her waist was so slender that it seemed like one hand could hold it. The buttons were buckled from the waist to the neck. Her chest rose and fell with her breathing. Her neck was as slender as a swan, and her skin was as white as the finest mutton-fat jade. On her palm-sized face, her facial features were delicate and well-proportioned. Her cherry lips were slightly pursed, her nose was high, and her eyes were black and white, as if they could see through people's hearts. Her thin and straight eyebrows added a bit of heroism to her face. Further up, half of her hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and the other half was gathered behind her back. At first glance, the whole person seemed to be shrouded in mist, quite a bit of fairy spirit.
"Look at your careless appearance, and you still want me to not despise you!" Old Master Sun frowned and raised his hand to slap Sun Quanzhang on the back, "Sit up straight."
Sun Quanzhang sat up suddenly, stretched out his hand to block the old man's slap, and straightened his back. His mind was still spinning, and he finally understood why the guard couldn't find an adjective. Such beauty was too unique and rare. As the saying goes, it's hard to paint the skin of a beauty, but it's hard to paint the bones, and it's hard to paint the temperament!
Bah, bah, bah. This is not the tone of his speech at all. Sun Quanzhang came back to his senses, shuddered, and got invisible goose bumps.
"Xiao Ke, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. This is my good-for-nothing grandson. He is lazy all day and has no real job. He started a company and earns a little pocket money throughout the year, barely enough to support himself."
The old man introduced his grandson to Zhang Kezhi with a smile. He looked disdainful but his eyes showed pride. When he turned to face Sun Quanzhang, his expression changed:
"This is Xiao Ke, a girl from our old friend's family. It's a rare opportunity for her to come and see me. Why don't you greet her immediately?"
"Quanzhang Group, Sun Quanzhang, you should have heard of it." Sun Quanzhang put on a formal smile and nodded at Zhang Kezhi, and the surprise in his heart just disappeared without a trace.
No matter how pretty a girl is, once she is tainted with utilitarianism, she will become vulgar. It's fine if she wants to get close to me, but it's a taboo for Grandpa to do it. Haha, a girl from a family friend? From childhood to adulthood, what kind of children from a family friend has he not seen? If there is a beauty of this level, how could he not know about it.
"Zhang Kezhi from Yinzhong Zhang family." A voice as loud as ice and jade shattering suddenly arose. Zhang Kezhi nodded, with a polite and faint smile on his face.
The sound is quite nice, Sun Quanzhang thought, and symbolically pushed the glass plate towards Zhang Kezhi:
"The strawberries were just shipped in from the south yesterday. They haven't been in the freezer yet. Try them."
"No, thank you." Zhang Kezhi didn't move.
The old man couldn't stand it any longer and slapped Sun Quanzhang on the back: "You are as old as a dog, do you know how to entertain guests? The little girl is shy and embarrassed, can't you be more enthusiastic? You have two legs and are just a decoration, can't you stand up and let people pass!"
Sun Quanzhang wrinkled his face after being hit, gritted his teeth, stood up, picked up the plate and went in the direction of Zhang Kezhi.
"Really, there's no need. Grandma has already given it to her just now. I really don't like strawberries." Zhang Kezhi moved her body, and before she could stand up, the strawberries were placed in front of her.
She quickly stood up and pushed the strawberries back to Grandma Wu: "Grandma, eat more strawberries if you like them. Eating more strawberries is good for your health."
This action brought back a loving and happy smile from Grandma Wu: "Nannan is a good girl."
This is my grandma!
Sun Quanzhang sat back angrily and couldn't help but open his mouth:
"Miss Zhang's home is quite far from here, right? How come you only have time to come visit now? After all, we are old friends. It's really rude of me not to entertain you for so many years."
Where did he come from? Do you really think that just any random person who comes to their house can become a family friend? The old man is old and likes to fool the young, but he is not stupid!
"Haha, Xiao Ke's family usually doesn't contact the outside world on purpose. They only go out when they have something to do." The old man was happy when he talked about this. "It's rare for them to come to our house this time. I haven't seen anyone from their family for a long time."
Oh, they haven’t contacted the outside world yet. If this goes on, they must be the hidden family in the story.
Sun Quanzhang smiled and continued, "Then I guess Miss Zhang must have something to do this time. It's not easy for her to take time out of her busy schedule to come to our house. It's an honor for our Wu family. I don't know what Miss Zhang needs. If you can help me, please feel free to ask."
"I called you back because I need your help." The old man's face was wrinkled with a smile. "Xiao Ke is going to take the postgraduate entrance examination for C University soon! Isn't your house close to there? There happens to be an empty room. I was thinking of letting Xiao Ke live with you. It will be convenient for her to go back and forth."
You want to get in right away? You're crazy!
"Sir, it doesn't matter for me as a single man, but she is a girl. Is it appropriate for a single man and a single woman to be together?" Sun Quanzhang hit the nail on the head.
"It's okay. You've been hanging out outside all day, and you'll be home late at night. It won't affect Xiao Ke's review. Besides, what's a single man and a single woman? Sister Wang will go with you and cook for you."
Sun Quanzhang frowned and tried to find an excuse:
"That won't work. How are you going to eat? Besides, why do you say I'm going home so late at night? I've been feeling down lately and I'm trying to adjust my schedule so I can go home on time every day."
"I knew you were weak, you're always acting like that! It's a good opportunity to let Wang's wife take care of you. You don't have to worry about us. Recently, the higher-ups have assigned a nutritionist, and we have nutritious meals every day."
"That's also..." Sun Quanzhang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhang Kezhi:
"Grandpa Wu, I'd better rent a house by myself. I won't bother you anymore."
"How can that be!" The old man was anxious. "Your grandfather entrusted you to me, so I have to be responsible for you. You are a girl and you don't often go out to interact with people. What if you get hurt outside? Listen to Grandpa Wu and live with your brother Quan Zhang. If there is anything, let him handle it for you. You can study with peace of mind and don't worry about anything else."
Haha~ you are quite scheming!
Just as Sun Quanzhang was about to speak, the old man slammed the table and fired at him:
"It's fine if you're lazy all day long, but you're still making excuses when I finally asked you to do something serious. What's the point of having you? I don't care. Stop making so many excuses. Don't you just want to go out and have fun? As long as it doesn't affect Xiao Ke's postgraduate entrance examination, it's up to you. But you have to take good care of Xiao Ke. If anything happens to Xiao Ke or she's uncomfortable, you'll never be happy again!"
What the hell is this? Who is his grandson?
Sun Quanzhang was so angry at these words that he twitched. Grandma Wu patted his hands and smiled kindly and appropriately:
"My dear Zhang, Xiao Ke is a good girl. Something happened to her family, so you should take good care of her. You are a brother, so you should behave like a brother and take good care of your sister."
Grandma Wu seldom interrupted, but once she opened her mouth, Sun Quanzhang would hold back his unpleasant words.
Restraining his anger, Sun Quanzhang comforted himself: It's okay, it's just hard work for five months, at most he can go out early and come back late to guard the place tightly and not give the other party a chance to take advantage of it. As for the difficult task of changing my grandfather's impression and revealing the other party's true nature, he will take his time.
"Okay, you can stay here, but some of my habits are not very good. If you are offended, don't blame me for not telling you in advance. Besides, sometimes I will stay at my friends' houses, so I may not be at home all the time."
So, don't think that you can get the upper hand just by being in the house. She has a plan and he has a ladder. Make it clear in advance to avoid him refusing to take on any trouble later.
"Look at your behavior." The old man glared at him, then turned to Zhang Kezhi and said with a smile, "Xiao Ke, your brother Quan Zhang has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If you have any problems, just go to him. If he can't handle it, you can come to me. Don't be afraid."
Sun Quanzhang, a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, stuffed a strawberry into his mouth and held it in.
"No, I'm just reading. I won't be in any trouble."
She is quite good at pretending to be well behaved. I hope it is true as she said. Sun Quanzhang continues to stuff strawberries into her mouth.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. You're eating so many strawberries right before dinner." The old man glared at me, "You're dumb. Don't you know how to say a word?"
"Well, no one goes to my place usually. Sister Xiao Ke, if you have anything to prepare, please let me know so I can go back and prepare. When do you plan to go?"
"You can take Xiao Ke and Wang Sao with you later! Xiao Ke's things are all with me. If there's anything missing, you can buy it later." Still looking down on him, the old man turned to Zhang Kezhi and said, "If you need anything, just tell your brother Quan Zhang. Don't be polite to him."
"I don't need anything special." Zhang Kezhi nodded calmly to Sun Quanzhang, "Thank you for the trouble."
She's already prepared everything, but she's still pretending. Do you think he's a fool? Haha, there's still a long way to go. I won't let this gold-digger who clings to the rich and powerful suffer a loss and learn a lesson. He destroyed his abdominal muscles and admitted defeat in front of his brothers!
